Hi, I have been getting stabbing, aching pain in this area and around to my back sometimes, also feels like its my abdomen sometimes. My blood work was fine and xray showed constipation. I went 2 weeks without it and or came back. Im 37 and female.

have you tried stomach acid reducing medications like zantac, maalox, mylanta, prilosec to see if they help?

do you have any in your home?

ive tried them, the don't help. I'm worried about colon cancer? Also maybe a blockage. My anxiety is horrible over this, that's all I'm focused on and its the first thing I think and in the morning. Its making me depressed.

One Dr said shingles with no rash and another muscular. but I don't think either, its been so long with this pain

I've tried pepcid complete. I've had treatment I'm the past yes. I was doing great until these symptoms started. I do anything during the day in fear of feeling the pain or just dying from a heart attack. The pain worries me its my heart but I honestly don't have any risk factors. Im 5'6" and 168lbs

do you have constipation? small hard bits of stool? large hard balls of stool?

Usually balls clumped together, sometimes half my bowel movement will be clumped together balls and the other half of it soft, but xray showed the whole colon was full. I've always suffered from it. But noticed it got worse after I stopped eating yogurt or nursing. I quit both around the same time.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.
